Transcend the Knowledge Barriers in RAG: Setup, Chat State, and More
Isaac Chung

Developer tools power many LLM-based chat and Retrieval Augmented Generation applications today. However, there is a non-trivial knowledge barrier for entrants that could hinder developer experience. Our discussion intends to offer actionable insights into building and maintaining generative AI solutions in a secure and economical way, thereby improving the developer experience in this Generative AI wave.

Speed up open source LLM-serving with llama-cpp-python
Isaac Chung

Large language models (LLMs) often require huge compute resources to serve. This is a common challenge for those who want to avoid sharing their data with cloud API providers, or to deploy their stack in air-gapped environments. We will take a look at how the open source llama-cpp-python library opens the door to lower hardware requirements and simplifies deployment significantly.
